The crowd's expressions drastically changed.
They looked in shock at the person before them.
From beginning to end, he hadn't made a move, just walked calmly forward.
Anyone who attempted to stop him was sent flying by an invisible force, spitting blood on the spot.
So of the weaker cultivators had their internal organs shattered and were unlikely to live much longer.
A wave of panic swept through the East City Lord Mansion.
Hong He frowned deeply and walked out of the hall with the ten guardians of the Order Hall.
The two sides faced each other from a distance.
Their gazes collided.
Lu Ming appeared calm and composed, his gaze resting on Hong He and the ten guardians. He couldn't help but chuckle, "The Order Hall has always stayed neutral. Today's appearance at the East City Lord Mansion truly broadened my horizons."
Ding Chunqiu spoke aloud:
"Lu Ming, what is your intention in barging into the East City Lord Mansion?"
Lu Ming looked directly at Ding Chunqiu and said, "Soone tried to stop , so naturally I had to break through... Hong He, what do you think?"
Hong He stepped forward and said:
"Lu Ming, the martial arts contest for marriage is over. You couldn't win, so have you co here seeking vengeance?"
"Vengeance?"
Lu Ming laughed heartily, standing with hands behind his back, and said, "Hong He, do you think you're important enough for to co looking for you? Rumor has it that you've mastered the secret technique to locate spirit stone mines. Tell , Lord Hong, have you really mastered the Lu Family's secret technique?"
"Lu Ming, do you really think that only the Lu Family can find spirit stone mines in the whole world? Why can't others find them too? What kind of twisted logic is this?" Hong He retorted.
The ten guardians nodded one after another.
These ten elders together ford a formidable force.
Seeing them nod, Lu Ming knew they were taking the East City's side.
Lu Ming couldn't help but chuckle:
"The Lu Family has always held this secret, and for many years no other family in Wanxian City has mastered it. You deliberately sow discord behind our backs to isolate the Lu Family. What's your motive?"
"Nonsense! Lu Ming, this is the Hong Family's territory. Please leave!"
The order to leave was given.
It was clear they realized Lu Ming had co with ill intentions.
With the ten guardians present, Hong He wasn't too afraid of Lu Ming.
But still...
The aura around Lu Ming made him uneasy. It would be best to let him leave as soon as possible.
Arguing over trivial matters was pointless and fruitless.
Lu Ming snorted coldly, "Let's see who dares to move ?"
At that mont.
A cultivator lunged forward, but even before reaching Lu Ming, he was sent flying back mid-air, spitting blood with a splash.
He fell to the ground, his face pale.
In front of Lu Ming, there seed to be an invisible barrier; nothing could be seen or felt.
Everyone was shocked.
Ding Chunqiu frowned deeper, saying, "Lu Ming, have you actually broken through?"
Lu Ming smiled silently.
Another guardian said, "Lu Ming, advancing in cultivation is good news. You can contribute to the Wanxian World, so why resort to internal conflict?"
"Old Master Lu is dead, and you're the only one left in the Lu Family. Don't stray down a wrong path."
Everyone began to urge and advise the young man before them.
However.
The constant chatter was extrely annoying.
"Noisy!"
Lu Ming lifted his hand slightly.
A powerful force, like a tornado, surged toward the ten guardians.
Led by Ding Chunqiu, the ten raised their hands to block.
Whoosh!
Gang Qi interwove.
Boom!
The ten stumbled back several steps, faces pale, nearly unable to stand.
"Half-step Ancestor! This... How is this possible?"
With just one move, they realized Lu Ming's true power.
Three of the ten guardians were Primordial Human Immortal pinnacle experts.
To defeat a Primordial Human Immortal pinnacle expert with such ease, who else but a Half-step Ancestor could do it?
Everyone was utterly shocked.
They never expected Lu Ming to actually have half-step Ancestor cultivation.
This...
What should they do?
Hong He, as the East City Lord, and considering this was his territory, wouldn't back down easily.
He stepped forward and said, "Lu Ming, what do you really want?"
Lu Ming replied sternly:
"My demands are simple: First, hand over the secret technique you possess; second, hand over Fang Yu, and I will kill him myself; third, hand over Hong Zhaoyue."
Three demands, straightforward and clear.
"Firstly, the one who found the secret technique was Mr. Fang... Secondly, Mr. Fang's cultivation isn't inferior to mine, so how could I restrain him or hand him over to you? Lastly, the outco of the martial arts contest for marriage was already determined, even if you are at half-step Ancestor cultivation, it doesn't an you can be unreasonable, does it?"
However.
Just as those words were spoken.
Lu Ming said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, but I happen to be an unreasonable person!"
He raised his hand.
A wave of black energy surged forth.
"Evil energy!"
"He's beco demonic!"
"Everyone, be cautious!"
The crowd retreated.
The cultivators retreated to the edges, as though facing a formidable enemy.
That black energy darted towards Hong He like a venomous snake.
Whoosh!
A formidable force surged forward.
Hong He's expression changed slightly, his arms trembled, surrounded by Gang Qi.
Bang!
Even so, the black energy still sent him flying.
He staggered back, retreating all the way to a pillar at the hall's entrance. With a loud crash, the pillar cracked, almost breaking!
The crowd's faces changed color.
This was the power of a Half-step Ancestor.
With just a gesture, he could defeat Primordial Human Immortal Hong He.
Hong He had no power to fight back, even resisting was difficult.
This move clearly wasn't executed with full force, yet blood was already trickling from the corner of Hong He's mouth.
Too strong!
"Lu Ming, you're going too far!"
Lu Ming coldly surveyed the crowd, saying, "I still have those three demands. If not t, today, I will slaughter everyone here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked aghast.
In front of the ten guardians, talk about reason and rules?
A half-step Ancestor was already at a level where they could disregard laws.
"Lu Ming... you..." Ding Chunqiu had just begun to speak.
Lu Ming waved a hand, sending a blast of Gang Qi over.
Bang!
Ding Chunqiu crossed his arms to block, suffering the sa fate, being sent flying and spitting blood, his face turning pale.
There was no room to resist.
The disparity was too great!
"Ding Chunqiu, I've long disliked you... My n went to the Huaxia World to probe, yet you showed no rcy in bringing them back. You deliberately suppressed my Lu Family, thinking I wouldn't notice? Everyone from the Order Hall, listen! If you want to live, stay and watch quietly. If you want death, step forward! I don't mind killing a few more."
After saying this.
The remaining nine guardians felt their hearts tremble.
They didn't dare to step forward.
A half-step Ancestor had enough power to kill them.
No one dared to move for the mont.
At that mont ——
A beautiful figure walked out.
"I'll go with you!"
Following the voice, Hong Zhaoyue walked out.
The crowd burst into uproar.
